What is the equation of the linear function represented by the table?

Hello!

You can put x into the answer choices to see if we get y

y = -x + 9
y = -(-5) + 9
y = 5 + 9
y = 14

This could be a answer

y = -(-2) + 9
y = 2 + 9
y = 11

y = -(1) + 9
y = -1 + 9
y = 8

y = -(4) + 9
y = -4 + 9
y = 5

we got y every time so the answer is the first one

The answer is A) y = -x + 9

Hope this helps!
